Where should I set: Set the Shore Max setting to match the current rating
of the utility power or the generator’s circuit breaker.
This setting controls
the input current differently depending on the inverter/charger model and
the AC input wiring confi guration. Set per your inverter model below.
CAUTION: The Shore Max setting does not limit the current to the
inverter loads. If the current from the loads on the output of the
inverter are greater than the circuit breaker rating on the incoming
AC source, you may experience nuisance tripping on this breaker.
ME, MS, and RD Series: These models have two inputs (HOT IN 1 and HOT
IN 2), but the current is only monitored on HOT IN 1. On these models, when
wired as a dual-in confi guration or as a single-in confi guration—with only
the HOT IN 1 connected—the Shore Max setting should be set to the size
of the AC circuit breaker that feeds the HOT IN 1 input. On these models,
when wired as a single-in confi guration with HOT IN 1 and HOT IN 2 jumped
together, set the Shore Max setting to half (x½) the input breaker size—as
half the current will pass through HOT IN 1 and the other half through HOT
IN 2 simultaneously.
MS-AE and MS-PAE Series: These models have two inputs (HOT IN 1 and
HOT IN 2), with the current monitored on each input at the same time. On
these models, since the input is from a single AC source, both of the input
currents are added together and divided in half to determine the Shore Max
setting. Whether the input circuit breaker is a dual-pole (120/240 VAC input)
or a single-pole (120 VAC only), set the Shore Max setting to the value of
only one of the breaker poles (i.e., 30A dual-pole = 30A setting, 30A single-
pole = 30A setting).
MS-E, MS-PE, MSH-RE and MSH-M Series: These models may have
one (AC1) or two (AC2) inputs, with the current monitored on each input
separately. On these models, set the Shore Max setting to match the input
AC circuit breaker size.
Note: If the ME-RC is connected to a MSH-RE inverter, the Shore Max setting
applies to both inputs (AC1 and AC2).
Note: The MS Hybrid (MSH) Series inverter/chargers have Load Support Mode,
which allows the inverter power to operate in parallel with the incoming AC
power (Grid or Gen). This feature uses additional power from the inverter’s
battery to run loads greater than what the incoming AC power can run alone,
and prioritizes the power of any external DC source (i.e., solar, wind, etc.,)
over the incoming AC power to run inverter loads.
